A large business process outsourcing company operates 5 days a week (Monday to Friday). The manager estimates that the minimum number of agents requires, a combined on-site and work-from-home (WFH) setup, to provide prompt service: 20 for Monday, 18 for Tuesday, 23 for Wednesday, 28 for Thursday, and 32 for Friday. Labor rules state that each agent must work for 3 days a week on-site. and 2 days in WFH setup. For example. an agent who works on-site Monday to Wednesday must be on WFH setup during Thursday and Friday. Also. the company wants at least 60% of the workforce daily to report on-site. Formulate the appropriate LP model for this problem to minimize the number of agents to be hired.
The Outdoor Furniture Corporation manufactures two products, benches and picnic tables, for use in yards and parks. The firm has two main resources: its carpenters (labor force) and a supply of redwood for use in the furniture. During the next production cycle, 1,200 hours of labor are available under a union agreement. The firm also has a stock of 3,500 feet of good-quality redwood. Each bench that Outdoor Furniture produces requires 4 labor hours and 10 feet of redwood; each picnic table takes 6 labor hours and 35 feet of redwood. Completed benches will yield a profit of P350 each, and tables will result a profit of P1,000 each. How many benches and tables should Outdoor Furniture produce to obtain the largest possible profit? What is the largest profit? Use the graphical LP approach. (First construct a table of resource requirements and profit).
A wood products firm uses leftover time at the end of each week to make goods for stock. Currently, there are two products on the list of items that are produced for stock: a chopping board and a knife holder. Both items require three operations: cutting, gluing, and finishing. The manager of the firm has collected the following data on these products: The manager has also determined that during each week 120 minutes are available for cutting, 650 minutes are available for gluing, and 360 minutes are available for finishing. Formulate Linear Programming (L.P) Model for above problem?
A plant has sufficient capacity to manufacture any combination of four different products (A, B, C, D).For each product, time is required to be invested in four different machines, which is expressed in hours per kilogram of product, as shown in the following table as shown in the following table: (image) Each machine has an availability of 60 hours per week. Products A, B, C and D can be sold at $9, $7, $6 and $5per kilo, respectively. Variable labor costs are $2 per hour for machines 1 and 2, and $3 per hour for machines 3 and 4. The material costs for each kilogram of product A are $4. The material costs for each kilogram of products B, C, D and D are $4 each kilogram of products B, C and D are $1. What needs to be done:Formulate a profit-maximizing PL model given the maximum demand per product shown in the table (there are 16 variables). Note: it is not necessary to solve the exercise, simply state the exercise
Devin is the production manager for the Bilco Corporation, producing three types of automobile spare parts. The manufacture of each part requires processing on each of two machines, with the following processing times (in hours): PART Machine A B C 1 0.02 0.03 0.05 2 0.05 0.02 0.04 Each machine is available 40 hours per month. Each part manufactured will yield a unit profit as follows: A B C PROFIT $300 $250 $200 Devin wants to determine the mix of spare parts to produce in order to maximize total profit. Use the Excel Solver to solve the model by the Simplex Method!
An enterprise produces P1, P2 and P3 products using H1 and H2 raw materials. Production data are presented in the table below. The labor time per unit of P1 product is twice that of P2 and three times that of P3. The entire workforce of the production facility is enough to produce 1500 units of P1 product. The market requirement for products is in the order of 3: 2: 5. Establish the Linear programming (DP) model that will maximize the profits of the business and determine the best production quantities?
Amy Zeng, owner ofZeng's Restaurant Distributions,supplies nonperishable goods to restaurants around the metroarea. She stores all the goods in a storage area with a single dockand one aisle. The goods are divided into five categories accordingto the following table. The table indicates the number of tripsper month to store or retrieve items in each category, as well asthe number of storage blocks taken up by each. The following picture of the storage area provides an identificationnumber for each of the 16 storage blocks. For each item category,indicate into which blocks it should be stored.
Due to the unavailability of desired quality of raw materials, ABC Ltd. can manufacture maximum 80 units of product A & 60 units of product B. A consumes 5 units and B consumes 6 units of raw materials in the manufacture respectively and their respective profit margins one RO 50 & RO 80. Further, A requires 1 man-day of labour per unit & B requires 2 man-day of labour per unit. The constraints operating are: Supply of raw material - maximum 600 units Supply of labour - maximum 160 man-days. Formulate as a LP model & solve graphically.
The Midland Tool Shop has four heavy presses it uses to stamp out prefabricated metal covers and housings for electric consumer products. All four presses operate differently and are of different sizes. Currently the firm has a contract to produce three products. The contract calls for 400 units of product A, 570 units of product B, and 320 units of product C. The time (in minutes) required for each product to be produced on each machine is as follows: Machine Product 1 2 3 4 A 35 41 34 39 B 40 36 32 43 C 38 37 33 40 Machine 1 is available for 150 hours, machine 2 for 240 hours, machine 3 for 200 hours, and machine 4 for 250 hours. The products also result in different profits, according to the machine they are produced on, because of time, waste, and operating cost. The profit per unit per machine for each product is summarized as follows: Machine Product 1 2 3…
A company has a total of 3 factories to produce steel and iron. Every month, the companymust meet the following demands: 3200 tonnes of steel and 1000 tonnes of Iron. Each factoryhas a different shipping cost per tonne (£/tonne) for each product as shown in the tablebelow:Factory Steel Iron1 200 5002 800 4003 500 1000The warehouses in Factory 1, Factory 2 and Factory 3 can store 2000 tonnes,1500 tonnes and2500 tonnes of products, respectively. The company is seeking for a solution to minimise theshipping cost.a) Based on the table above, determine the optimal monthly assignment plan for the factory.That is, how many tonnes each factory needs to be shipped to fulfil the demand.b) Suppose Factory 3 will not be available during the next few months. Keeping the samedemand, is the company able to fulfil the demands? What would be the revised assignmentplan to ensure demand is fulfilled?c) The cost of raw materials in each factory is shown in the table below. Change the companyobjective…

Hoosier Power needs to determine a capacity expansion plan to meet Bloomington’s power needs for the next 20 years. The current capacity is 5000 kwh. The demand for the current year is 4000 kwh, and demand is expected to increase by 1000 kwh in each succeeding year. At the beginning of each year, Hoosier Power must determine the amount of capacity to add, given the following inputs: ■ Any year in which capacity is added, a fixed cost of $120,000 is incurred plus a cost of $120 per kwh of capacity. ■ At most 10,000 kwh of capacity can be added in a single year. ■ It costs $25 per year to maintain a unit of capacity. ■ It costs $12 per year to produce a kwh. ■ If production does not meet demand, a shortage cost of $80 per kwh short is incurred. Develop a linear integer model to help Hoosier Power minimize its costs for the next 20 years.
